What is the input force and the output force of a can opener?
A "regular" can opener is a machine that combines a wedge (to cut through the top of the can) with a wheel and axle (which moves the can opener's cuttng wheel -- the wedge -- around the top of the can). The input force is provided by the operator, either by hand or via electric power. The output force is the separation of the metal of the top and the movement of the opener around the can. We also find that the can and the openers parts get a bit warmer with its use, and there are losses in the system due to friction.

Why is a cheese grater a wedge?
A cheese grater is considered a wedge because it features a series of sharp-edged surfaces that taper to a point, allowing it to effectively slice through cheese. The wedge shape provides a mechanical advantage, enabling the user to apply force efficiently as they push the cheese against the grater. This design maximizes the surface area for shredding, making it easier to break the cheese into smaller pieces. Ultimately, the wedge shape is key to its functionality in food preparation.
The potato ricer was in common use long before a version was patented, making it difficult to state an exact date of invention.
Several types of potato ricer exist, each with it's own patent date and applications.
The earliest patent for a device called a 'potato ricer' was US Patent #1,885,873, issued on November 1, 1932.
This doesn't mean it was the first potato ricer, just an improvement on an earlier version.
In Mrs. Norton's Rocky Mountain Cook Book Third Edition published in 1918 (first published in 1903 by Caroline Trask Norton of Denver Colorado), a potato ricer is mentioned.
It's simply mentioned in passing, assuming that the home cook owned one or could easily get one, and not mentioned as anything new.
It's reasonable to assume, then, that they existed and were fairly easily obtainable by home cooks prior to 1918.
Why do you toss a salad with a spoon and a fork?
Tossing a salad with a spoon and a fork helps to mix the ingredients evenly without bruising delicate greens. The spoon can scoop and lift the ingredients, while the fork can help separate and distribute them. This method ensures that the dressing is well-coated on all components, enhancing the overall flavor and texture of the salad. Additionally, using this technique minimizes the risk of overmixing, which can lead to a soggy salad.
